"Never Ending
Climb" - May 2

At the top of the show,
we see some of the players partying and going crazy.
This is mostly to release the stress of the game. Abe
makes a confession to Dan that he's still pissed that
some people believe he's Mike's ally. Dan tells him
that Tina was the main source of this idea. He says
she's full of crap and doesn't know what she's talking
about half of the time. Mike, on the other hand, is
worried about the upcoming nominations for the
Inferno. It seems that he's always a target during the
Men's nominations and he really can't understand why.
Tonya's becoming more and more upset about the way
she's being treated by Veronica, Rachel, and Tina. She
just wishes they would treat her with a little more
respect.

On the morning of the mission, some people are
discussing their relationships with their families.
Jamie asks Tonya the one thing she hoped she didn't
ask, if she was close to her parents. Tonya replied no
because she was shipped around in foster care most of
her childhood. Jamie now can see how Tonya's need to
be loved is still inside her.

The teams arrive for their next challenge, "Never
Ending Climb". They see a huge setup with ladders and
walkways that are held by a crane high above in the
air. According to the rules both teams will compete in
separate heats. Each player will climb up the
contraption and pick up five beaded necklaces, come
down to solid ground, and place them in their team's
bowl. Each team will have collected a total of 40
necklaces in all. Since the Good Guys have only seven
participants left, they must pick one player to run
twice because. The team who collects all their
necklaces in the fastest average time wins this
mission. A 1-minute time penalty will be incurred for
whenever a player falls off the contraption before
getting the necklace. A 5-minute penalty will be
incurred for each player who backs out of the mission.
Those penalties will be added to their total times if
necessary.

While the BAs are strategizing, Dan's becoming
increasingly annoyed with Tina. Her, Veronica, and
Rachel are pushing themselves to the forefront, trying
to forcefully strategize for their team. Some how, it
gets a little too forceful for Dan when they question
his abilities to perform the mission. Dan's not the
only one feeling the heat, when Tonya mentions she
used to be a rock climber and can do it, the other
girls scoff at her. Borrowing a quote from Rodney
Dangerfield, she gets no respect, no respect all.

In the Bad Asses heat, Veronica is making good
progress until her necklace gets caught in her harness
slowing her down. During Tonya's turn, she gets
disrespected by Tina, Veronica, and Rachel. Tina has
had enough after Tina, Veronica, and Rachel stepped
away from her. During Derricks turn, he fell off
before getting the necklace which means he must wait
one minute on the ground before completing on his
second attempt. Here's a look at the times they've
recorded.

If the GGs don't screw
this up, they may have another win on record. But
before their heat, Julie becomes very emotional. She
begins crying and says she hates heights. Her team is
hoping she'll be able to pull off a good time. Landon
takes a slow approach to the contraption. Mike somehow
gets stuck at the first level, but later on he falls
off. However, because he grabbed the necklace before
falling off, he's safe from disqualification. When
it's Julie's turn, she has a hard time climb up to the
second level and saying some curse words in the
process. But her cursing helped her get through the
mission without any more problems. Landon gets his
second run to complete the GGs heat and here are the
recorded times.

In the end, the Bad Asses
recorded an average time of 31:37. The Good Guys
recorded an average time off...27:11...they win! The
GGs TBA is now up to $40,000 while the BAs TBA is
stuck at $50K.

It's now time for team deliberations and it's the Mens
Inferno this time. Dan sees that Tonya is visibly
upset after the mission. He asks her what's wrong and
she says she feels disrespected by the way Tina,
Rachel, and Veronica treated her during the mission.
They yelled at her and complained about her time, when
Tonya says she did a good job, and better than some of
the guys. Dan tells her to not worry about it and just
ignore them. After her talk with Dan, Tonya says she's
through trying to be friends to them.

The Good Guys, during their deliberation, have to
decide between CT and Abram. They worry about picking
CT, since he has won all of the Life Shields for the
challenges. The Bad Asses, on the other hand, want to
choose Mike again. Dan becomes upset with this, saying
it's only for personal reasons and not strategic. When
Tina gives him attitude, Dan then becomes heated. He
says they aren't playing the game how it should be by
yelling at Tonya all the time and making some
insensible decisions for the Inferno nominations. He
tells to Tina "if you don't like it you can shove it".

The deliberations are over and both teams gather to
announce their Inferno nominees. The Bad Asses,
nominate Mike for the 3rd time in a row, which isn't a
surprise to him. Mike announces it's about to be a
rematch as he nominates Abram. This occurred because
on "The Gauntlet", Mike eliminated Abram. Now the
buddies are pitted against each other once again.
Abram says that Mike's a good friend but when it comes
to the Inferno, he's going to have to beat him.

Later on the night, Tonya confronts Tina, Veronica,
and Rachel about how they've been disrespecting her.
Tonya also says that all she wants is a little support
from her team, since the other team told her she did a
good job. All three of the girls basically laughed her
off. Veronica thinks that Tonya is trying to victimize
herself and make them out to be the villains. The
girls then walk off, making fun of her, while an Tonya
tells them in anger that they can kiss her ass.

Will the Good Guys win the next mission to even up the
score?

It's the only question I can think of at this moment,
but it'll be answered on next weeks episode of the
Inferno II.
